Shapeways | Create in 3D
Richard | January 25, 2009
Ever had a really cool idea for something you wanted to build, but you had no way to actually build it? Ever designed a toy or a piece of art that you thought would be a neat thing to have, but your skills at molding plastic or at sculpture just weren’t up to the task? If so, Shapeways may be for you. Design whatever you want (within certain parameters) and they’ll print it for you in 3D, out of plastic, and send it to you.
With the Shapeways Creator you can create your own personal and unique object! You don’t need any 3D modeling skills and it takes just a few minutes. You can change the shape as you want and even add text. If you like the result you can order it and we will print and ship it to you. The Shapeways Shops offer artists, designers and hobbyists alike a unique online platform to show and sell their designs to a worldwide audience.
The young dutch startup is spinning out from the Lifestyle Incubator of Royal Philips Electrions, located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
